Life skills - Painting and Personal Development Project

 

The Genesis Trust have been running an on going course where clients are given the opportunity to learn simple painting skills for woodwork - theory, preparation and paint application.

 

Each participant has undertaken their own individual project where they work under their own initiative (with help where required) to obtain an item and resources, prepare and paint the surface and then sell or make use of the item.

 

 

 

Other main objectives are to develop soft skills - i.e. Team work, confidence, problem solving and motivation and also to develop leadership and mentoring skills.

 

View the following video clip to see  a set of photos from the project.

 

The second half shows the contribution of clients and staff to the Genesis Christmas Market which proved to be a success!

 

 

 

 

The Christmas Market

 

Thanks to everyone who helped make this day so successful. We raised just over £500 for Genesis.

 

A great time was had by both staff and volunteers who participated in the running of the stall.
